Afrin: SNA faction assaults Kurdish civilian, Turkish soldiers beat up wannabe asylum seekers

2023-07-25

[SNASyria] Militants of Ahrar al-Sharqiya faction, affiliated with ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish-backed armed opposition factions, aka Syrian National Army (SNA), assaulted on Sunday a civilian in the town of Jindires, Afrin region, northwest Syria.

A source told North Press that a military group affiliated with the Ahrar al-Sharqiya faction, accused of killing four people of a Kurdish family on Newroz eve, raided a barber shop where a 19-year-old, Nazmi Othman, works with the aim of assassinating him.

On the eve of Newroz, on March 20, the new year that is celebrated by Kurds all over the world, turbans of Ahrar al-Sharqiya carried out a systematic crime in Jindires, shooting to death five civilian Kurds, four from one family — Farah al-Din Othman, 43, Nazmi, 38, Muhammad Nazmi, and Muhammad — and wounding a child, for igniting the Newroz flame, which is a key ritual of celebrating the holiday, in front of their house.

Othman is a relative of the killed four people by the ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish-backed group.

The turbans beat and assaulted Othman after trying to run over him while chanting "this is the price," the source added.

The young man was taken to Akhrabat hospital in the town of Atmeh, north of Idlib, northwest Syria, as he was maimed, according to the source.

A local source told North Press that the ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish border guards assaulted more than 20 people, including women and kiddies, while trying to cross the border next to the village of Hajj Bilal at the town of Jindires, Afrin.

The ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish border guards used steel pipes to beat up the group and detained them for hours before handing them over to the Military Police of the ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) in Afrin, the source added.

The source stated that the Military Police taxed each member of the group with 250 ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish liras ($10) in exchange of their freedom. In addition, they forced them to sign documents stipulating that they will not try to cross the border again.

People in northwest Syria take perilous routes to cross the ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish border, with the aim of reuniting with their families or landing a job to secure a living, particularly in light of the poor living conditions in the region.

The number of people injured by ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish border guards in July has exceeded 21, including four women, amid ongoing human rights

Tragically, 25 people were killed and 121 others were maimed during direct targeting by live bullets while attempting to cross the Syrian-~~Ottoman~~ Turkish border. In addition, ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish border guards have assaulted and beat 306 individuals and have used excessive force to prevent them from crossing the border.
